Hi, I'm the main developer. We're steadily getting closer to the next release which will support most features of Mathematica 1.0 plus some of the most popular newer functions (> 900 overall!). AMA!

What percentage of the overall code was written primarily by agents?

How does it compare to mathics?

How close is it to being able to run rubi: https://rulebasedintegration.org/?

You can find the whole integration routine here https://github.com/ad-si/Woxi/blob/36343ab2cbc97e5081f7c811e.... It's essentially a test mock-up (not even trying partial fraction decomposition for rational functions).

Thank you for sharing this on HN.

It's a worthwhile effort. If successful, Woxi can enable a large mass of scientists and engineers who don't have access to Mathematica to run legacy code written for it. Also, Woxi would give those scientists and engineers who regularly use Mathematica a non-proprietary, less restrictive alternative, which many of them would welcome.

How does Woxi compare to other "clean-room implementations"[a] of the same language?

Interesting, thanks for sharing. Naive question as I'm not familiar with Mathematica much (but aware of it and Wolfram Alpha and related tools), how does it compare to e.g. Jupyter or Julia or maybe another language (with its framework) that might be even closer?

Why would I use this and not Wolfram Script?

Better license? Allowed for commercial operations?
